Nice machine, that should be a good upgrade

I went mac a month ago - mac pro - dual quad's. Still getting used to the OS , but I like it so far.

Why ThermalTake? You should have went with a mountain mod case and radiator system

Oh well, maybe in 3 months when you get your next one :P

Actually your money is better spent buying a higher end graphics card than a "better" processor.

Ended up being about $1700 after s&h and tax. I usually am the one to just build it myself, but I felt like being lazy this time around.

**madfuck** · 05-12-2008, 03:22 PM

**starpimps** · 05-12-2008, 03:29 PM

Faster clock speed is better for gaming. Most games don't really do better with quad vs duo.

**xxweekxx** · 05-12-2008, 04:02 PM

they probably gonna cheap out on your motherboard

yup.. duo is better, only 1 or 2 games can even utilize quad.. quad is better for graphics/rendering, but for everything else get a fast duo.. overclock that baby and ur offf

I hate you!

You made a right choice... stick with 24", that's my advice

ViewSonic VX2835wm Black/Silver 28" Widescreen LCD Monitor
I grabbed this one a month or so ago, great monitor so far.. a little on the big side at 28"
I'd prolly never buy this big again, and go around 25" max for a computer monitor...
Also this one increased $100-$150 in price since its release, i guess that means people like it...
For $500 delivered it was a steal... no brainer
At $650 plus delivery now... might have some alt choices

**beta-tester** · 05-12-2008, 04:36 PM

i got something similar a while ago ;)
just kandalf lcs, 2gb (1.1ghz) ram, and quad oced to 3ghz :D It's pleasure....

**Meeper** · 05-12-2008, 04:36 PM

Well I do have a 30" that I am using at work and I love it. But yea I think 24's are the way to go for sure. Just making sure that they have a good Contrast Ratio and Response Time because I game quite a bit :P

**rayadp05** · 05-12-2008, 04:40 PM

Nice looking system bro. I am sure that you will enjoy it.

**DatingGold** · 05-12-2008, 04:42 PM
